Kati Nescher: Catwalk CV

KATI
NESCHER has landed her debut British Vogue cover for
the February issue. It has been a busy few months for the
Russian-born model - the 29-year-old had a stellar show
season, appearing on countless catwalks across the New York, Milan
and Paris schedules. From opening Karl Lagerfeld's spring/summer
2013 Chanel
extravaganza to closing the BCBG Max
Azria show, the 27-year-old's chameleon-like qualities have
made her a resounding hit with casting agents.

Unlike many of her modelling contemporaries, Nescher wasn't
discovered while sitting in an airport lounge or shopping in
Primark as a young teen - rather, she approached an agency herself
when she was well into her mid-Twenties and already had a young son
- giving up a career in Russian and German translation in the
process.

Her first show season - for spring/summer 2012 - saw her walk
for everyone from Stella
McCartney to Yves Saint
Laurent. The following year, she starred in advertising
campaigns for Louis Vuitton, Pringle of Scotland and Tom Ford
Eyewear, to name but a few. Known for her strong profile, piercing
green eyes and killer cheekbones, the model mother has been
catapulted to international success within two years of being
signed - making her our must-know model of 2013. Click through the
